Always take them for a 3-metre test drive first, including a “no hands” check on the wheel alignment, to avoid 20 aisles of irritation.

They should be able to spin 360° while still moving in the desired direction. I also “drift” mine around corners rather than simply steering it.

when my daughters were small, the wife would walk away from us as me & the girls had drifts and spins in the trolleys, went very pear shaped one time when the eldest 4 years old threw her dinner up in the middle of a 'spin' spew was shared amongst many that evening.

Why is it when we call a company and reach an automated answering service, we select the number which relates to our problem and provide our personal details for verification, then when we eventually reach a human they ask "how can I help you"? Does the computer screen in front of you not show all of the details we just supplied? Damn annoying!

Why is it when I use phone banking it is sufficient for me to provide my name, date of birth, account number etcetera to verify I am who I am but when I try to pay third parties via phone the bank won't allow it? Anybody who steals my identity to pay my bills on my behalf is more than welcome to do so!

Why is it people are surprised to see Australians celebrate Italy winning yet those same people, whose lineage on this continent is only a few generations longer than the Australians of Italian heritage, still have a soft sport for the countries in the British Isles?

…That I need to execute the same “back” command when returning from a Gumtree listing, to my search results on that site?
I look at an advert, say “Nah” and tap where it says “back” at the top left - it goes back, very briefly - then returns to where I was! ![]() |

Why is it my old manager still on occasion calls me when his service guys cant work issues well within their job description out? I left that company over a year ago. I left on good terms and still have the social chats with my old manager because we are good mates out of 'work', bu
t still. It sort of shows incompetance in the service guys. My mate could easily work these things out, but his job as a manager means he sits behind a desk, not out on site. The 1 competant bloke who knows most everything, he did a few things that werent grounds for the sack, so he's being given the treatment to hopefully make him quit. So no more work car, no performance bonus and shipped over to construction. So losing $3 per hour bonus and a private use work car, if they did that to me when i worked there id quit on the spot. I left for my own reasons. But it begs the question of why people cannot do their jobs if its all reasonable and well within the job description? |

You should look to this old example, for a hint:
A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. |
